So pleased to be working with Ocean Conservation Trust and Stine, Alison and Oliver on this! Great to be working in the #celticsea, a new and exciting region for Ørsted and hopefully just the start of a great new relationship. https://t.co/St9pHnlxmW

It's incredibly uplifting to be part of the largest (probably?!) and best (most definitely) corporate #biodiversity team in the world, all working toward a net positive impact on biodiversity for Ørsted.

Last week we all met at Ørsted HQ in #copenhagen…https://t.co/WOTuZwd2Is

🐬 Tough to think of a better time than World Oceans Day to launch our new blue #bond in support of a #sustainable blue economy! 🐬

#Capital raised will be used to scale-up our existing efforts on marine #biodiversity, and to su…https://t.co/kRSCi11XAe https://t.co/tOTlACSPh8

Reported as potentially the first commercial trade of biodiversity credits (discounting years of commercial purchases of biodiversity units in England), the Swedbank purchase raises lots of interesting questions. Fundamentally - it…https://t.co/sh88MmwbWc https://t.co/xgmwZiJ9EG

The return to reality delayed this post but last Friday, after 20 weekendless months, I graduated from the Cambridge Judge Business School with an Executive MBA!

Was it worth it? Could there have been more core focus on the global #business issues of th…https://t.co/YsrGqzkxNd

This #graphic from a 2011 paper (Fabi et al - Overview on artificial reefs in #Europe) is fascinating but dated, and imagine the #Netherlands, #Denmark and #Norway are now miles ahead. Does anyone know of updated stats or maps? https://t.co/qalw8oIUy6

News of this 100 #million DKK coastal restoration project seemed to slip quietly by! It's quite the undertaking - six Danish municipalities, four universities, two government agencies, as well as Ørsted, https://t.co/dK6JVMEalE, th…https://t.co/km4CNXLbu4 https://t.co/ix4P2JjBrG

It's been excellent working with Bluedot Associates Ltd to trial this new framework for #marine net gain, take a look! 🐳🦞 https://t.co/IEk3jUBSZL

At the current trajectory of renewable #energy deployment, we will hit #global targets decades too late for any sort of Paris-aligned outcome. We NEED to #speed and scale up. https://t.co/EoFZh9blYP

Life got busy, but I wanted to take a moment to recognise one of the best #collaborative experiences of 2022 - working with amazing colleagues @rickysupriyadi, Annie Mfula, Richard Pemberton DL MRICS, Iaroslav Shvets and Zuo Xu on our Cambridge Judge Busi…https://t.co/DWjZmrj49A

Are you working on integrating a biodiversity commitment into your company? As part of my #MBA research I'd love to speak with you!

I've almost hit my interview target, but it's been so interesting I'm #addicted now. To keep things anonymous, please DM m…https://t.co/3BV3e8RAPz

Are you a student with a a great #climatetech or #energy startup #idea that could use $100,000 or more?? Hurry up (deadline is Jan 13th!) and apply! Open to US and Europe, for more talk to Aditi Jha. Anyone at Cambridge Judge Business School keen? https://t.co/XSa2hDiRsN

#Cool! SeaGrown and Ørsted have set out on a #mission to establish #data around the potential of seaweed as an ocean-climate solution by trialing a range of #monitoring technologies including eDNA, remote cameras, and sonar. https://t.co/NC9tSE0BcL

Check out our feature in The Guardian - three Ørsted projects boosting ocean biodiversity, putting the #renew in #renewables (puns entirely my own and may not represent my employer's sense of humour). https://t.co/KJeNlSqmsO

This beggars belief. Clean #energy is central to any chance we have of a 1.5 C solution and renewable energy developers are now being put on an even worse footing than the #oilandgasindustry. Can anyone explain the logic to me? https://t.co/T5PXYzcKlu

[Samir Whitaker @samirwhitaker]

On the eve of COP27 we are (again) at an inflection point for climate and nature, we need to change the way we produce #energy, #food, and... #everything. Sobering to see an agenda that recognises the uncomfortable truth - the impa…https://t.co/eChP67oARg https://t.co/j1KUD929TH
